Chris Manhertz Chris Manhertz Returns to practice Tue, Aug 19, 2025, 4:15 PM Manhertz (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Analysis: Manhertz missed the Giants' second preseason game over the weekend, but his injury clearly isn't severe. The veteran tight end is more of a block-first player at the position.
Daniel Bellinger Daniel Bellinger Back at practice Tue, Aug 19, 2025, 4:14 PM Bellinger (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Analysis: Bellinger missed the Giants' second exhibition this past weekend, but his injury evidently wasn't serious. Bellinger is competing with blocker Chris Manhertz and catch-first TE Greg Dulcich for a role behind starter Theo Johnson.
Cam Skattebo Cam Skattebo Taking part in team drills Tue, Aug 19, 2025, 12:48 PM Skattebo (hamstring) is participating in team drills Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Analysis: Skattebo already appears to be a full participant in his return to practice, welcome payoff after the Giants took a cautious approach to his recovery and kept him sidelined the first two preseason games. The rookie fourth-rounder's final chance to log exhibition reps will come Thursday versus New England, and putting together a strong performance would significantly aid Skattebo's chances of pushing veteran incumbent Devin Singletary for backfield reps behind presumed Week 1 starter Tyrone Tracy.
Cam Skattebo Cam Skattebo Gets back on practice field Tue, Aug 19, 2025, 11:49 AM Giants coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Skattebo (hamstring) will return to practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Analysis: Skattebo's hamstring injury forced him to miss New York's first two preseason games, but with a quick turnaround before Thursday's exhibition finale against the Patriots, it remains to be seen whether the rookie fourth-round pick will have a chance to suit up. Per Evan Barnes of Newsday, Daboll appeared to indicate that Skattebo will be limited in his return to practice Tuesday. Tyrone Tracy has dominated first-team reps throughout training camp and appears destined to kick off the regular season as New York's starting running back, but once fully healthy, Skattebo could compete for a role of his own. To begin, his top competition may be veteran incumbent Devin Singletary.
Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Returns to practice Tuesday Tue, Aug 19, 2025, 11:43 AM Giants coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Nabers (toe/shoulder/back) will participate in practice, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Analysis: Daboll indicated Nabers will be limited, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see the second-year pro back on the field. A lingering toe issue caused Nabers to miss time earlier this summer, and he then suffered a shoulder injury landing hard at training camp, and has more recently been held out due to a minor back injury. Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports that the team still fully expects Nabers to be ready for Week 1 against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 7, but that he will not suit up for Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots.
Chris Manhertz Chris Manhertz Sits out second preseason game Sun, Aug 17, 2025, 1:32 PM Manhertz (undisclosed) didn't play against the Jets in Saturday's preseason contest, and he appears to be dealing with an injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Analysis: Manhertz also didn't participate in joint practices with the Jets last week, per Evan Barnes of Newsday, though it's not clear what type of issue he's dealing with. The veteran tight end has little appeal in fantasy due to his lack of work in the passing game, though he's valuable to the Giants' offense for his work as a blocker.
Daniel Bellinger Daniel Bellinger Doesn't suit up Saturday Sun, Aug 17, 2025, 1:19 PM Bellinger (undisclosed) didn't play in Saturday's preseason win against the Jets, and Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the tight end is dealing with an injury. Analysis: The nature of the issue that kept Bellinger sidelined is unclear, and it may not be serious given that he was able to run on a side field during the practice week, according to Duggan. With Theo Johnson locked in as New York's starting TE for the coming campaign, Bellinger doesn't have much appeal as a fantasy asset, though he could be a helpful component of the Giants offense for his work as a blocker. However, he may have competition for that role with Chris Manhertz (undisclosed), and New York also has Greg Dulcich among its tight-end corps.
Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Also working through back issue Sun, Aug 17, 2025, 1:17 PM Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Nabers (toe/shoulder) has been held out of practice while working through a minor back injury. Analysis: Nabers is also working through a toe injury from spring and a shoulder issue that he suffered during a training camp practice in late July, and he's unlikely to play in the Giants' preseason finale against the Patriots on Thursday. Although Nabers is dealing with multiple injuries, Jordan Raanan of ESPN relays that there are positive signs that the 2024 sixth-overall pick is on track to play in the Giants' regular-season opener against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 7. The Giants will play things conservatively with Nabers for the time being, but a return to practice will be crucial for the young wide receiver to build reps and chemistry with Russell Wilson.
Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Nabs one catch in preseason debut Sun, Aug 17, 2025, 1:04 PM Hyatt caught one of two targets for 21 yards in a 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday. Analysis: Hyatt sat out New York's preseason opener last Saturday while dealing with an undisclosed issue, but he was able to suit up and log 11 offensive snaps against the Jets. His catch was a 21-yard connection with Russell Wilson on the Giants' first drive of the second quarter. The upcoming season could be a crucial one for Hyatt, as he'll have the opportunity to work with a more stable set of quarterbacks in Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart following two disappointing campaigns to begin his NFL career. However, Hyatt is behind each of Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson on the depth chart, making his path to production tricky.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Secures one catch Saturday Sun, Aug 17, 2025, 12:31 PM Robinson hauled in one of two targets for six yards in Saturday's preseason 31-12 victory versus the Jets. Analysis: As with most of New York's key players, Robinson's time on the field was brief -- he played just seven offensive snaps, a bit fewer than fellow WR roster locks Darius Slayton (10) and Jalin Hyatt (11). Nonetheless, Robinson was the only member of that trio to get multiple targets, and his lone catch came on a short hookup with Russell Wilson. Robinson got a healthy 140 targets and caught 93 of them last season, though he averaged only 7.5 YPC. Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder) hasn't yet played in a preseason game, and he's expected to get the lion's share of attention among New York's receiving corps again in 2025. That should leave Robinson, Slayton and (to a lesser extent) Hyatt competing for looks from a new QB room that features Wilson, Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart.
Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Past undisclosed injury Sun, Aug 17, 2025, 9:50 AM Slayton (undisclosed) played 10 snaps on offense but did not show up in the box score otherwise during the Giants' 31-12 preseason win over the Jets on Saturday. Analysis: Slayton had been working through an undisclosed injury that caused him to miss the Giants' preseason opener against the Bills, but the 2019 fifth-rounder progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Saturday. Slayton is entering the final year of his two-year contract and is aiming to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 regular season in which his 39 catches for 573 yards were his lowest output since 2021 (26 catches for 339 yards). The Giants' quarterback situation in 2024 was shaky, but the addition of Russell Wilson should help raise Slayton's floor this season.
Devin Singletary Devin Singletary Scores TD in exhibition Sat, Aug 16, 2025, 9:29 PM Singletary rushed two times for five yards and one touchdown in the Giants' 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday. Analysis: After Tyrone Tracy was stuffed on his goal-line carry from the one-yard line in the first quarter, Singletary came on for the next play and cashed in the short touchdown. Singletary turns 28 years old next month and averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry last season. He's competing for the likely RB3 role in New York behind Tracy and rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring), though Skattebo has missed both preseason games and multiple practices this month.
Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Runs for 39 yards Saturday Sat, Aug 16, 2025, 9:26 PM Tracy rushed seven times for 39 yards in the Giants' 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday. Analysis: Tracy wasn't targeted in the passing game and was also stuffed on his goal-line carry from the one-yard line. On the next play, Devin Singletary entered the game and punched in the one-yard touchdown. Tracy has carried the ball 10 times this preseason, gaining 48 yards, and with rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring) missing both exhibitions and multiple practices, Tracy appears locked in atop the depth chart headed into the Week 1 opener against the Commanders in three weeks.
Jaxson Dart Jaxson Dart Nearly perfect in second exhibition Sat, Aug 16, 2025, 9:23 PM Dart completed 14 of 16 passes for 137 yards and one touchdown in the Giants' 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday. He also rushed two times for five yards and a second touchdown. Analysis: After Dart completed 12 of 19 throws for 154 yards and one touchdown in his preseason debut last week, the first-round rookie followed it up with a nearly perfect performance. Dart's touchdown toss was a 20-yard hookup with Greg Dulcich in the second quarter. He followed it up with a one-yard rushing score before halftime. Dart was the second quarterback in the game for the G-Men after Russell Wilson made the start. Following the performance, coach Brian Daboll reiterated that Wilson is the team's starting quarterback headed into the season, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Dart, however, is a good bet to make rookie-year starts and is worth a late-round pick in best-ball formats.
Russell Wilson Russell Wilson Throws INT on Saturday Sat, Aug 16, 2025, 9:16 PM Wilson completed four of seven passes for 108 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception in the Giants' 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday. Analysis: After sitting out the preseason opener, Wilson made the start for the G-Men in this one and played a couple series. His interception looked like a miscommunication between Wilson and his receiver down the field. Wilson is expected to open the season as the Giants' starting quarterback, but first-round rookie Jaxson Dart has looked tremendous this preseason and is a good bet to make rookie-year starts. Wilson is not an attractive fantasy quarterback option in 12-team leagues.
Russell Wilson Russell Wilson Warming up to start Saturday Sat, Aug 16, 2025, 4:38 PM Wilson is warming up and appears to be in line to start Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Wilson is warming up alongside wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and Jalin Hyatt (undisclosed), who all look set to join him on the field Saturday, though Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder) is dressed in street clothes. Wilson completed six of seven passes for 28 yards during New York's preseason opener against the Bills, and he'll now look to prove up to the challenge presented by the Jets' stout secondary.
Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Not dressed to play Saturday Sat, Aug 16, 2025, 4:34 PM Nabers (toe/shoulder) is present on the sidelines but not dressed to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Nabers appears set to miss a second consecutive preseason contest due to lingering shoulder and toe injuries, while starters Russell Wilson, Darius Slayton (undisclosed), Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt (undisclosed) are all warming up and appear in line to play. The Giants haven't yet expressed any concerns about Nabers' availability for Week 1, but at this stage it remains to be seen if the star second-year pro will be in consideration at all for the team's exhibition finale against New England on Thursday.
Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Set for action Saturday Sat, Aug 16, 2025, 4:30 PM Hyatt (undisclosed) is warming up Saturday and appears set to suit up for the Giants' preseason game against the Jets, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Analysis: Hyatt wasn't able to suit up for New York's preseason opener against Buffalo and had recently been limited to individual drills, but the 2023 third-round pick now looks back to full health. A strong showing versus the Jets could assist Hyatt in his goal of securing the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (undisclosed). Hyatt has reportedly bulked up to around 190 pounds after playing last season at 172.
Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Back at practice Wednesday Wed, Aug 13, 2025, 11:12 AM Hyatt (undisclosed) is practicing on a side field Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Hyatt was held out of Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo despite taking part in each of the Giants' previous six practices, per Dan Duggan and Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, and the reason for his absence wasn't disclosed. The wideout had missed some practices earlier in training camp due to lower-body tightness, but it's unclear if his absence Saturday was related to that. Whatever the case may be, it's promising for Hyatt's status moving forward that he was able to return to practice Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday, though Duggan notes the receiver did work on the side rather than taking team reps. As such, it bears monitoring how long Hyatt will be limited to side work.
Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Remains sidelined Wednesday Wed, Aug 13, 2025, 10:59 AM Nabers (toe/shoulder) isn't participating in the Giants' joint practice with the Jets on Wednesday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports. Analysis: The Giants have cleared a few players who sat out the team's first preseason game -- including fellow wideout Jalin Hyatt (undisclosed) -- to participate in Wednesday's practice, but Nabers isn't among them. The star receiver hasn't practiced since last Wednesday, and it's unclear at this point if the primary reason is the toe injury that has bothered him throughout the offseason or a shoulder issue that caused him to exit a practice early in late July. Nabers has stated that a limited workload during training camp is "part of the plan," per Dan Duggan and Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, but head coach Brian Daboll hasn't said much about the wideout's status. It's worth noting that Daboll doesn't typically provide much detail about injuries, so it's hazy at this point when -- or if -- Nabers will get into a preseason contest.
